Barring road construction, most park roads are open to automobiles from about
May 1 to the first Sunday in November; please plan with this in mind.
Make lodging reservations as early as possible.
Plan your arrival to secure your campsite early in the day.
Review park regulation and permit information before your arrival.
Pack clothes that can be layered and that are appropriate for the season of your
visit.
Get up-to-date road and weather information close to your time of visit by
calling (307) 344-7381.
To purchase books, maps, or pamphlets about the park before you arrive, contact
the Yellowstone Association at (307) 344-2293.
Construction may cause delays or road closures at any time of year. Specific
dates for road openings and closings vary from year to year, and are directly
related to weather conditions. If you are planning a spring or fall trip to
Yellowstone, we urge you to call park headquarters for current road and weather
information. Conditions often change rapidly, so stay informed by calling or
stopping at visitor centers for information.
